Daily Photo: Mr. Sunshine’s Crazy Whiskers

Mr. Sunshine and his crazy whiskers.
Mr. Sunshine and his crazy whiskers.

Normally Mr. Sunshine’s whiskers are purrfect. They are very long and gently curved, and he alone has not one single white one. But when he’s watching something waved arund his head that he really, really wants to get, he loses all control.

Get That Spot Back There, Would You? 2017

It’s so handy when your sibling knows just where you need a little wash. Giuseppe and Mewsette share a lazy afternoon sunbath.

What a wonderfully bright morning that brought interesting shadows through the back door this morning.

First, Mimi, lost in the shadows.

Then Giuseppe, with interesting patterns.

What We Did This Weekend, 2016

We had a little cable internet fixup happening yesterday, so much for all the cool posts I’d been planning, but I can at least share what my fine felines were doing yesterday and today while I was trying to catch up with work. Their weekend schedule was not inconvenienced in the least, I’m happy to say.

Daily Photo: Who’s the Smallest of Them All?

Mimi really is the smallest of them all!

It’s really not a trick of perspective, Mimi really is about half as big as her two largest children. Here she sits between Mewsette and Giuseppe, looking out the basement door into the back yard, probably watching the groundhog devouring everything in sight.

. . . . . . .

The Big Plot, 2103

Sunshine watches the stairs and Bean gets in position to leap to Emeraude’s food bowl.

“You watch the stairs, Sunshine—Emeraude’s asleep and I’m going in!”

The never-ending scheming to get a few bites of Emeraude’s food. She’d been defending her territory pretty heartily, but lately she’s not so concerned and looks at them, then continues her bath. Or she’s asleep on the toilet lid, and she’s pretty deaf, and they know that.

Jelly Bean is getting rounder. So is Mr. Sunshine. I have to close the door…

But still they’re cute in their deviousness. Take a look at “Two Great Minds” to see an earlier effort.

When I Awake, 2012

Mimi watches as I awake.

This is usually what I see, looking through my bedroom door to the landing: Mimi staring intently at me from the top of the wardrobe, beautifully silhouetted by golden morning sunlight. Nice to awaken and smile at beauty.

Her children are torturing me, though, energetically pulling back the covers, tickling my face with their whiskers, gnawing on my fingers and walking all over me. Perhaps Mimi is simply watching to see that they do what they’ve been told. A cat mom supersedes a human mom.

Morning Kitties Are Like Morning Coffee, 2011

Morning Kitties

They don’t need to do anything, all they need to do is sit there and they awaken my creative senses and make me smile.

Mewsette, Giuseppe and Jelly Bean pose on one of the last warm mornings while the leaves are still green and bright. Something to remember until next year.

“Of the Rain and Giuseppe, Searching” is one of a series of photos I took of Giuseppe looking out the window at the rain and have always thought they’d be able to convey a variety of messages as photo cards, each of which can be found in my Feline Photo Greeting Cards gallery, and also attractive photo prints, which you can also find in my Cat Photos and Black and White galleries. Read more, and purchase.
